title: Nanoparticle assemblies via coordination with a tetrakis(terpyridine) linker bearing a rigid tetrahedral core.
abstract: Controlling particle-particle interactions is a major challenge in achieving the programmable assembly of nanoparticles, which shows great potential for device fabrication and detection systems. We present here a simple chemical method that allows the formation of Pd nanoparticle assemblies using a tetrakis(terpyridine) linker with a rigid tetrahedral core.
